A wonderful book. The first book that has made me (almost) understand religious faith. The book has a science fiction framework -- a Jesuit mission to a newly discovered planet with intelligent inhabitants. It has likeable protagonists, a fascinating story (with switches in time and perspective that are really well done), and, a great integration of foreign language/linguistics knowledge in a way that is well done, not overbearing, and enriches the story. Heartily recommended.
